QUESTION.
If an owner turns off the irrigation to the HOA’s landscape in front of
his home and causes it to die, can he be held liable for the
restoration of said landscaping?
RESPONSE: Yes
he can. Owners have no right to tamper with landscaping maintained by
the HOA. Turning off the irrigation falls into the category of
"vandalism" and subjects the person to fines and costs of repair.
